Nine Inch Nails leader Trent Reznor took the stage over the weekend in Las Vegas as part of his Tension tour, but his iPhone took center stage during one point in the performance, reports Mashable.

Reznor used the iPhone to FaceTime with Andrew Youssef, a concert photographer and Nine Inch Nails fan who is suffering from stage four colon cancer. Youssef had used Nine Inch Nails' tour as motivation to continue treatment and press on. Reznor learned about Youssef's situation and struck up a friendship with him.

Reznor told him he missed him, dedicating the Nine Inch Nails song "In This Twilight" to him. The crowd joined in, chanting Youssef's name.

More stories about people other than pundits, industry insiders, and tech journalists, using Apple products, please. This is what it is all about. Everybody bandies about specs and speculation. Let's hear about the masses.

I've never been a NIN fan, but I've seen how Mr. Reznor has continually been interactive and inclusive with his fan base over the years and that, to me, is one of the greatest qualities of respect and gratitude that any musician can exhibit. My hat's off to you Mr. Reznor. Good form!

The only problem with FaceTime is that I can only use it with people who have Apple devices. A lot of my friends do not use Apple, and there needs to be a workaround for this feature to work. Maybe if they built an Android FaceTime app. This is one scenario where Apple needs cross-platform functionality.

That wouldn't happen. Just like you can't send iMessage to other platforms. So how do we solve that? We use WhatsApp! In this case, have you tried Tango? It's like FaceTime but you can chat with your friends with Android, Blackberry, etc. Sometimes i find better than FaceTime because it allows you to do more than just chat. Give it a try.

I was fortunate enough to see NIN for the first time in Cleveland back in 1991. They stopped on their way to another show in another state and put on a show at a 500-600 capacity club for like $5. It was announced at about 5pm and started around 10. I was lucky enough to get in. He said he just wanted to say thank you to fans where they got their start. It appears he has never lost that appreciation for fans. It's good to see there are still good people out there doing things like this.
